Each of the four is remembered for his remarkable work: Mills for the development the cross type instrument that now bears his name; Christiansen for the application of rotational synthesis techniques; Wild for the masterful joining of observations and theory to elicit the nature of the solar atmosphere; Bracewell for his contribution to imaging theory. As well, these Four Pillars are remembered for creating a remarkable environment for scientific discovery and for influencing the careers of future generations. Their pursuit of basic science helped pave the way for technological developments in areas ranging from Wi-Fi to sonar to medical imaging to air navigation, and for underpinning the foundations of modern cosmology and astrophysics.Astronomers' Universe,1614-659XAstronomyObservations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsHistoryElectronic circuitsMicrowavesOptical engineeringPopular Science in Astronomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009Astronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Electronic Circuits and Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010Microwaves, RF and Optical Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019Astronomy.Observations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.History.Electronic circuits.Microwaves.Optical engineering.Popular Science in Astronomy.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.History of Science.Electronic Circuits and Devices.Microwaves, RF and Optical Engineering.522.682Frater R.Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut871934Goss W.Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWendt H.Wauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254593003321Four Pillars of Radio Astronomy: Mills, Christiansen, Wild, Bracewell1946790UNINA
